I purchased this table to put over an old radiator in front of a window in my office. It puts out great heat but seems like a waste of space. I needed something metal and slate or glass that would absorb the heat and radiate. This table was a perfect fit and looks great. My only problem was that the top fit nicely into three of the four holes made for it, but the fourth was off kilter about 1/8 inch; just shoddy workmanship which I've come to expect in everything these days. Anyway, we were able to make it work and I'm pleased with the look and the function, especially for a great price and free shipping.
